Dear all, for some time now I have been somewhat annoyed by the Linux kind of network adapter names put to display in "/proc/net/dev".
Imagine now that we would revert the file to be displaying the BSD kernel names instead. What negative effects or failures are we to expect from such a change? At present "ifconfig", "netstat", and "route" use the BSD names. A priori I know of no utility the depends on Linux naming. Should one influence the corresponding functionality in sys/compat/linprocfs/linprocfs.c to compile into either convention, based on a macro?
